That isn't correct. The wheelbase of the tractor needs to be less than 244", and it is only enforced in the Western provinces. Ontario doesn't bother with it. I've been up in Ontario with my 270" wheelbase hooked to a 53' already. Gone over several scales and passed several cops.

Interesting! I thought it was Ontario that had that law requiring trucks licensed in Ontario pulling 53' trailers to be no more than a 244" wheelbase. Anyway Rev thanks for correcting me on that!

It doesn't matter anyway, Ontario or not.

I am in a Western Province, and I pull a 53'. 244 max.

Ask me what the ticket cost me at the Putnam(London,ON) scales for my 270" wheelbase pulling a 53'. $375

I too passed many cops and went over many scales before I was stopped and measured.

Nice truck. So you pull for a United agent? I pull for a agent out of San Jose doing special products. I definitely need a front bumper like that when I'm up north!

Canada= 244" max WB. My dad had thios truck spec'd with a 244 when he was on United's US/Canada fleet.
